tishnagi honton pe rakhna aur samundar sochna
mujh ko pagal kar gaya hai ek khud-sar sochna

hont us ne si liye to phir mujhe bhi umr bhar
chup ke mausam katna hain aur barabar sochna

sare aaine saja kar soch ki dahliz par
ek din meri tarah phir tum bhi patthar sochna

sard sochon ne use bhi kar diya hai munjamid
meri aankhon mein basa tha ek manzar sochna

chhanw sab ki ek si hai mukhtalif hain saeban
rah-guzar mein bhi usi ka saya-e-dar sochna

ek lamha katne mein umr sari lag gai
us ki jaanib dekhna aur zindagi bhar sochna

apne hisse mein yahi sochen to aai hain 'kafil'
sochna aur fursaton mein yunhi aksar sochna
